Cambridge, United Kingdom – December 21, 2017 – Collabora Productivity, the driving force behind putting LibreOffice in the Cloud, is excited to announce the release of CODE 3.0 which, for the very first time brings full-feature editing dialogs, familiar from the PC LibreOffice version to the browser. Developers and home users are encouraged to update, try it out and get involved with the latest developments – however for enterprise production users are recommended to continue to use Collabora Online 2.1.5 or wait for the next release – due soon.

code_v3_calc_autofilterCODE is the LibreOffice Online solution with the latest developments, perfect for home users that want to integrate their own online Office Suite with their preferred File Share and Sync solution. It allows editing of richly formatted documents directly from a web browser, with excellent support for all popular office file formats, including text documents (docx, doc, odt,…), spreadsheets (xlsx, xls, ods,…) and presentations (pptx, ppt, odp,…). The purpose of CODE is to give interested developers from any field an easy way to get early access to the very latest feature additions and updates to LibreOffice Online, in order to enable them to develop, test to make it better, and contribute back to LibreOffice. For enterprises that look for a scalable, commercially supported version with Long Term Support, signed security updates and a SLA, Collabora Productivity provides Collabora Online.

Last year, after a lot of work, Collabora Productivity included the collaborative editing to CODE. Now, another milestone has been reached with the release of CODE 3.0, offering the initial full-feature LibreOffice dialogs to be used in the browser. The latest version brings the richness and complexity of eg. complex writer numbering, or powerful spreadsheet filtering. This sharing of user experience with LibreOffice users will allow new UI features to debut simultaneously in both online and PC clients, driving improvement in both of them.

Collabora Productivity has been working hard to make it easy for people to get and use Collabora Online by partnering and integrating with all sorts of open source file syncing solutions from ownCloud and Nextcloud to pydio, seafile, EGroupware and many others. CODE has two million docker image downloads, and now features a very easy way to install from the Univention app-store.

The goal of CODE is to get as many people as possible to try it out and get back control of their own online documents.

Upgrading your enterprise from Office 2007?


Office 2007 has reached the end of its support lifecycle, meaning there are no new security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options. So – it is time to upgrade to Collabora Office, save a fortune in the process, and have a great relationship with real engineers working on the product for you.

Why Collabora Office?

Collabora are one of the largest contributors to LibreOffice, the most powerful free and open source office suite. We strongly believe that deploying Collabora Office provides access to our huge depth of experience, combined with long term support, security maintenance, easy of deployment features (MSP patches, ADMX group policy management), and of course we love to work with our customers to help shape our product features and roadmap as we go ahead.

Long Term Support

Collabora Office’s long term support and maintenance gives you the flexibility to upgrade on your timeline and to suit your certification and integrations – with extended support options available. Collabora Office allows you to file an un-limited number of Level-3 (code fix) tickets with Collabora which we address as part of our product management process as we work together. We also have a token prioritization process – based on your spend that drives our ongoing product development work.

For those who would like an SLA on their issue fixes – with engineers starting work on your timeline with your severity to rapidly fix any issue you may come across – we provide Level 3 (code fix) support entitlement packages to provide the ultimate peace of mind.
